  1. Transitioning from WHNP to CNM?

    kangaroo2 posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Hello! I have been debating for awhile about becoming a CNM vs a WHNP. If I become a WHNP, how easy is it to transition into CNM training? Any idea how long this would take? I really like the 2 year...

  2. Advice--Where to go from here. Med School?

    kangaroo2 replied to LizHope's topic in Advanced Practice

    Hi Liz, Not sure if you're still considering this, but I thought I would chime in. I've also been in your shoes before. It sounds like you have a pretty good idea of what you'd be getting yourself...

  3. Yale GEPN Applicants 2012

    kangaroo2 replied to LookingAhead's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hey Category X, I was also a little displeased with the short turn around time - especially when they require such a giant deposit! $600 is a little overboard, I think. I am also doing some soul...

  4. Yale GEPN Applicants 2012

    kangaroo2 replied to LookingAhead's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I talked w/ financial aid today and had some info I thought you all might be interested in. I was curious to know if the scholarship amount was likely to stay the same throughout all 3 years or if it...

  5. Yale GEPN Applicants 2012

    kangaroo2 replied to LookingAhead's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I don't think it will look that bad - you usually get to explain anything that might stick out on your transcripts if you are applying to another program, and I don't think anyone would hold it...

  6. Yale GEPN Applicants 2012

    kangaroo2 replied to LookingAhead's topic in Post Graduate Students

    manhattandoula - I would drop the classes! I think they will teach you what you need to know, and if you got in then they think you will be able to learn the material w/o the prereqs. I would just...

  7. Yale GEPN Applicants 2012

    kangaroo2 replied to LookingAhead's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I also got the acceptance letter for CNM - I'm not totally sold on the program, though. For all those for who this your 1st choice - what are your reasons? (not meaning to rain on the parade here,...

    kangaroo2 replied to danceluver's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Hi pro-student, How long do the dual FNP/CNM programs take to complete? I'm interested in doing something like this and would probably want to get one degree first and then complete the other part...

  9. Any CNM NHSC scholars out there?

    kangaroo2 replied to partera's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    This is a great question! I see it hasn't had any response yet...if there aren't any NHSC scholars out there, how about midwives doing the loan repayment options? I'm looking at both and have...

  10. Question for graduates/students of BC and Yale - financial aid

    kangaroo2 posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi, I started a thread on here last week but some how it got deleted... I am wondering if anyone who has gone or is currently a student at BC or Yale's master degree programs could share their...

  11. Question for graduates/students of BC and Yale - financial aid

    kangaroo2 replied to kangaroo2's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Yes, NHSC and other loan repayment programs are a great option - I would be planning on that too if I do attend a direct entry program. Its also an option for midwifery. Its too bad that 6 figure...

  12. Question for graduates/students of BC and Yale - financial aid

    kangaroo2 replied to kangaroo2's topic in Post Graduate Students

    This thread hasn't gotten a lot of response, but in case anyone would like to know...I called the financial aid department at Yale today and they said the average student debt from the GEPN program is...

  13. Question for graduates/students of BC and Yale - financial aid

    kangaroo2 replied to kangaroo2's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Thanks again for your comment! I did read this before the post disappeared. Which field did you get a masters in? Did you find it reasonable to work part time during your program? How much debt do...

  14. Transitioning from WHNP to CNM?

    kangaroo2 replied to kangaroo2's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Thanks Krshmt! This is actually the ideal situation for me - to do the CNM curriculum, and then maybe just work in gny/women's health for awhile if I don't feel like its a great time for doing births...

  15. Transitioning from WHNP to CNM?

    kangaroo2 replied to kangaroo2's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Thanks! Does it make more sense to become a CNM instead of WHNP for scope of practice reasons? It seems that CNMs can do all the women's health care that WHNPs can do. Am I wrong about

  16. FPMHNP

    kangaroo2 replied to kkmmy64's topic in Advanced Practice

    I'm glad I found this post - many of the PMHNP questions are going unanswered. I am currently trying to decide if I am going to apply to a direct entry PMHNP program, and I'm wondering if some of...

  17. Fnp/cnm

    kangaroo2 replied to UNC_nurseL&D's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Bebeleche - Can you please tell me how long it would take to do a post masters certificate in midwifery if you already are a FNP, or vice versa (CNM first and then post masters for FNP). I'm trying...
